And I said the Vegeta was optional, so I don&#39;t enjoy the feeling that you&#39;re lecturing me about using it. I hesitate to recommend other seasonings, because I&#39;m not sure my choices are going to fit your standards as far as sodium, but any kind of all-purpose seasoning that you like can probably be used in this.Kalyn Dennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02499065771517548587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12411922.post-76300080283689680302014-01-25T09:22:32.180-07:002014-01-25T09:22:32.180-07:00Going to try this today but will not use the Veget...Going to try this today but will not use the Vegeta seasoning. Guess I was a little surprised when I saw that in the ingredients since it has such high sodium content. I focus on keeping at the 1500 mg sodium recommendation per day. Do you have any other suggestions for seasoning besides the Vegeta? Thanks!

This the second time I'm doing a "Phase 1". While seeking a source of South Beach friendly recipes that let me use fresh veggies from the CSA and my herb garden. Wow! Your site is a one stop shop.<BR/><BR/>Second, I just received my box of veggies and had the dreaded kale. While others rave about this veggie, I feel like rookie in an Iron Chef competition. No more! This soup is awesome. Believe it or not, it is a balmy 76 degree in Miami and I just ate two bowls. <BR/><BR/>Just a little modification...I had beautiful Italian chicken sausage (from a real butcher) with onions and pepper. It didn't miss a beat.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again,<BR/><BR/>JacquieJacquiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06341143022322499236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12411922.post-23877886842999981152008-11-24T09:42:00.000-07:002008-11-24T09:42:00.000-07:00Anonymous, both are 14.5 or 15 oz. cans.

When I got the pot started I realized this would be a TON of soup (my kids are not soup-lovers) so I halved the chicken stock, tomatoes, and beans. Everything else the same. I also pureed the tomatoes in their juice because my kids "hate chunks." It turned out lovely :)<BR/><BR/>Thanks!Lynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06926887495148083672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12411922.post-90058598893033271762008-11-15T16:57:00.000-07:002008-11-15T16:57:00.000-07:00This is excellent - I used Italian style bison sau...This is excellent - I used Italian style bison sausage (from http://www.wildideabuffalo.com/) and cannellini beans.
